Venables is a strong bodied, powerful midfielder, who also has an impressive burst of speed which helps him break away from congestion.

He can play as an onballer or half-forward, but has also been used all over the ground at different stages this season.

He does not tend to rack up huge numbers though, but can find the goals when pushing forward, which is an important skill to posses as a midfielder. He is also a fierce tackler, recording 21 tackles in four games in the Under-18 Championships earlier this year.

He has struggled to put together a consistent run of footy however, with injuries restricting his game time in the TAC Cup over the past two season.
